Are SQL developers generally familiar with JSON, VSCode and Docker?


I am asking this question as I am developing a data access solution that will change the data access development into SQL development, but requires the above tools. Thanks.

Are there still SQL-only developers in 2024?

SQL is one of the most widely used languages, and it's going to depend on what segment you are targeting.

Can you abstract this to a DB host?

Why are these extra tools a requirement to use your solution? It's better to meet your users where they are, let them use the tools they already know and use daily

No, no, and oh god no.

Best bets are: VBA, php, ruby, bash/shell/powershell.

Somewhat unrelated but is SQLTools still the best plugin for SQL in VSCode. Wish there was something better.
